Hey gamers, thanks for checking out the video. If you don't make it to the end, I explained that I haven't uploaded in a while because I'm moving and it's taken up a large amount of my time. Videos should be back to their "normal schedule" in the next week or so. A lot is going on right now in my life, and I'm doing my best to handle it all. Thank you again for your support

It's proof that the deadlines and what not that Nintendo and Pokemon put on gamefreak is killer. They were setting the games up to have huge amounts of content and then got rushed to push the games out. Pokemon doesn't need to be a yearly release. It would be so much better on a 2-3 year rotation. Honestly if they just did a rotation of Main series game, DLC, and a new let's go title. That's a 3 year rotation and gives every part a chance to be great and so much more polished.

Second, yeah the games still have years of develpment.

People hated it, then the kids who grew up with them get older and want to replay them, sparking a new wave of popularity for the games and more people realizing how good the games are. Based on when that happened with Gen 5, I expect that to be starting soon with this Gen or have already started
